    185 /190 Sport Seats

    This is probably the only thing I do not like about my 190. I put a throw cushion behind me and it is fine, but I find it strange that they designed it so far back even when fully forward. You get to versions like the SLX and they do not have this issue. I sat in a similar model crownline...

    Something does not seam right 19spx

    I have a 190 Sport that was just discontinued when this model came out, interesting enough I have a big trimmed out hole under the dash with no cover and the cooler cushion always moves on me and no recalls on either.

    New 190's 4.3 MPI dead in the water

    I am curious, did this happen after swimming and you got water on the back pad. This happened to me with the same boat and we found that the distributor cap had a crack in it and the water shorted it. When it dried it started again. And of course there is the dreaded I didn't know the kill...

    Just bought a 06 195 sport..love this boat!

    With that tower and color scheme looks like it is the size of a 205.

    When we goto the boat show in Minneapolis, the pontoon guys cannot write sales orders fast enough. Usually they are writing while someone is tapping on their shoulder to buy the next one. This summer I had a big 3 pontoon Bennington go out in front of me a ways and he was going as fast or...

    19 & 21 SPX Thread!

    Nice color scheme choice, should look sharp on the water.

    19 & 21 SPX Thread!

    Not sure if it answers your questions but all the options and MSRP pricing is now on Sea Ray's website. Interesting enough the 190 Sport is also still there, had heard and was told it was going away next year.

    New (or Updated) 2015 Sport Boats?

    It does offer allot of flexibility especially if you had a full boat of people, with 8 (which is the limit anyway) it is kind of crowded and awkward to get around on the 190, if I guy has that flexible seating it would make a difference. To me boats are kind of hard to visualize, I need to see...

    New (or Updated) 2015 Sport Boats?

    Not sure I really like this new model, to me there is allot of waste towards the back end, the widening is wasted with the step area, should have a moveable seat there for a walk through. A little too boxy looking for me, I think it has a European flair to it and maybe that who it is geared...

    190 Sport discontinued?

    I didn't take it that way at all, we can tell you are a huge Sea Ray fan. Not only that but educated in what's out there besides Sea Ray to give meaningful comments and advice.

    190 Sport discontinued?

    If I started worrying about beam length next thing I know I would be buying a new SLX, LOL. Not being mean if I could afford it believe me I would have one they are fantastic looking boats and your setup NorCal is out of this world.

    190 Sport discontinued?

    Wow that would make it wider than the 205. What I meant by wider beam was compared to some competitors, not Sea Ray, my neighbor had a older Glastron and it was clearly wider. I recently saw a new model Glastron and they also widened so probably not the case anymore. More interesting will be...

    190 Sport discontinued?

    Salesman said it was about 8" wider which is about what they added when they introduced the 190. Not sure I like the new model, will have to see that one in person to know or not, supposed to be one here pretty soon. Not sure they salesman had a real good grip on everything as he was surprised...

    190 Sport discontinued?

    At MarineMax this weekend picking up oil and filter and was looking in showroom. Salesman came up to me and started talking and I told him I bought a 190 Sport from them several years ago. He said this was the last year of the 190 and it was being replaced by almost the exact same thing but it...

    New Prop Wrench

    While you are checking things, check the 2, one in each catalyst, little plugs on top. One of my blew out at full speed a couple of weeks ago and went to check the other one and it was ready to come out. Checked at dealer they just said they were regular plugs and didn't have them but could...

    Dead Battery -190 Sport

    My switch was loose from day I got it, I had to tighten the lock nut from the back. It helps to have it in a standard position, but if you remove key you should not be powering anything. I am on my 3rd year with the same boat with no battery draining issues.

    St Croix and Mississippi

    Scott I see you have the individual covers, did it come that way or did you have to request it. I have the same boat I just have the whole boat cover. Just curious as they said they were switching over to just the whole boat cover when I bought mine. Boat handles the river great, in the...

    Another freak accident.

    People commit suicide in these what appear as strange ways but look like accidents that way they are categorized as accidents and life insurance still pays. Years ago in the Midwest when lots of little farms were getting lost to the banks there was a rash what appeared to be farming accidents...

    My new Sport 190 ready for maiden voyage

    Glad you found out about the kill switch. That switch will also click off sometimes on a hitting a big wave. I had it happen to me and did not even think to look at it, ending up getting towed back. All bent out of shape as the boat had done this before due to a defective ignition component...
